With the selection Massaro becomes the eighth Penn State senior to accept an invitation to a post-season All-Star game. Massaro capped his collegiate career with eight tackles and a half sack this season. Massaro dealt with a shoulder injury this season and was plagued by two anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears throughout his Penn State career.

When healthy, Massaro proved to be a reliable pass rusher. During his junior season in 2010 he started the final 11 games and recorded eight tackles for loss. The following spring he tore the ACL in his left knee and missed the following season.

Tackle Mike Farrell participated in the Casino Del Sol College All-Star game last Friday and linebacker Gerald Hodges and center Matt Stankiewitch will play in the East-West Shrine game this Saturday. That game will be televised by the NFL Network and air at 4 p.m.

Defensive tackle Jordan Hill will participate in the Senior Bowl on Jan. 26 and quarterback Matt McGloin will play in the Texas vs. The Nation All-Star Challenge on Feb. 2.
